Mexican party catering in New Barn, served fresh
It’s easy to cater for all ages and diets. Quesadillas suit children, and we plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options. It works well for leaving dos and retirements and exam-results parties, serving tacos, guacamole and salsas and quesadillas.
Around New Barn, a garden and a gazebo is often all you need. A food truck or trailer fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

New Barn is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from New Barn to London (about 20 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Rectory Meadow? A food truck in a public park typically needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

Local streets include The Maples, Kenwood Avenue and Merileys Close; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Common questions in New Barn
Which station should guests use for New Barn?
Longfield station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in New Barn?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. For a winter party in New Barn, it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
